Said to run well but I havent heard it yet.

Fair market for that is probably in the 7-10k range depending on how good it is mechanically. Buy it, it will never depreciate.

Dried mud on the frame, slight surface rust still sound solid when banging on the frame. Good cross members and hangers. Some surface rust on bottom from doors. Didn't look at the bulkhead and the steering balls (?) seemed a bit pitted but intact. Would need a repower and a re everything to make it a decent driver

There's been a few low ball offers, but the sellers are proper pikeys and are firm at 8k. . . .I hate pikeys!

It's either that hunk of aluminum or a new Husaberg

Tough decision but I know which one I'd go for. Just be careful because these frames are known to rust from the inside out. If it was me I wouldn't pay that kind of money unless I was damn sure the frame is good. Have a mechanic put it on a lift and go to town with a pick hammer. You don't want this to happen.

I brought mine home for the second time this week today. :huh The dealer fitted a new steering box, a new door latch/solenoid and a new crankshaft sensor and loom. Seems ok to me.

I took my 4yo lad with me and he got a bit fed up on the return trip so I let him take some pictures with the camera whilst we were driving. He spotted a few more landrovers and tried to get some pics of them for me

And I found these on the card when I copied it to the computer Looks like he's on a Landrover phase now.

I agree with Neduro (who is still my hero!). Ebay is loaded with 2004 Discos with low miles for around $7. Jeep Liberty is the worst vehicle in North America according to JD Powers, fyi. I got one as a rental once and I agree.

I had a Gen 1 Disco and hated, hated, hated it. Piss poor fuel economy and uncomfortable ergonomics. Also pricey to fix when it broke, which was often. I accept 15mpg out of a forty year old truck like a Series IIa, but a daily driver should do better.

Mine is the gen2. TD5 Auto, I'm still on the first tank but it looks like it should be getting around 20mpg and it's all been around town. Not great, but it does go offroad most days to my workshop which is on a farm and Sometimes I pull a small trailer too.

Unfortunately we aren't able to get the diesels here in the US. There are so many cool Euro diesels its a shame.
